On the 11th July, Raglan Ramblers will be following the Kaitoke walkway. This is a fairly easy local walk of about four kilometres. The walkway starts near the Raglan Area School and follows Kaitoke Creek to Flax Cove. At the Cove there is  a Cornish boiler, which is the remains from George Rutherford’s 1902 flax mill. As well as bush, there are several views to the south, including Karioi.

Walks usually start 9 am, Wednesdays from Wainui Rd car park (next to Raglan Fire Station). There is no membership – the only cost is 10 cents per km to share travel costs. Details from John 825 7866. Check out Raglan Ramblers on Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/RaglanRamblers/ .

Each “Rambler” accepts responsibility for any accident or injury received while travelling, or walking over private property. Be prepared – carry enough food, clothing, first aid kit for emergencies and preferably a mobile phone.
